Chapter 384: Chapter 382: Ruthless Person

Jiang Yan’s expression remained unchanged as she gave everyone a cold glance and said discontentedly, “Take off all your masks!”

Fully armed and dressed in black, with a mask and glasses, her expression was obscured, adding to the fear the others felt towards her.

“Yes! Right away!” Several people hurriedly removed their masks.

Looking at the few people in front of her with incomplete features, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but take a deep, cold breath.

“Where are you people from?”

The several men exchanged glances for a second.

One of them nervously replied, “Replying to Lady Ghost, we’re from Musen Base.”

Jiang Yan was inwardly startled.

Musen Base?

Hadn’t Song Haitao said that this base was also with the Righteous and advancing and retreating together with Yaoben Base?

Could it be that his information was wrong?

However, now was not the time to ponder this.

Just as the person finished speaking, a man next to him tugged at his sleeve and whispered angrily, “Damn! Do you have a death wish?! Even if you don’t want to live, don’t drag us down with you!”

The man stiffened his neck and glared at him, “Whether I face death lying down or standing up, it’s all the same; might as well follow Lady Ghost, maybe we can live a few extra days!”

“Exactly, didn’t you see, Little Boss has been caught….”

“You–” The man was furious and about to scold, when Jiang Yan already raised her gun and shot him in the head.

“Pfft!” Warm blood and brain matter splashed onto the faces of the few men.

Their pupils shrank and they involuntarily dodged to the side.

Having slaughtered so many two-legged sheep, they had long since become numb.

But to watch someone who’d just been talking beside them die so bloodily before their eyes left them particularly terrified.

The remaining few people hurriedly started kowtowing frantically.

“Lady Ghost, have mercy!”

“Lady Ghost, have mercy!”

“Bang!” Jiang Yan simply removed the silencer from the gun and fired a shot at the ground in front of the men, “Keep talking nonsense and I’ll kill you all!”

The people shuddered and shrunk their heads, no longer daring to make a sound.

A short man next to them, who had been shot with an anesthetic dart, seemed to be stimulated by the gunshot, jerking reflexively.

“I’ll ask you one question, and you will answer one. If you dare to speak nonsense, you’ll be the next to die,” said Jiang Yan, aiming the gun at each of them in turn.

“Lady Ghost, please ask away!” It was the same man from before.

The other people nodded desperately like pecking chickens, “Yes, yes, yes!”

One man’s thoughts spiraled into absurdity:

They must have committed so many sins that they had attracted a demon from hell!

A rustling sound of objects being dragged came from the next room, causing the few men to break out in goosebumps.

“Bang–”

The wall was breached by an invisible force, and several submachine guns levitated in a pile with a guard, his eyes covered in red striated wounds, his collar dragged by an unseen force, appeared in front of everyone.

“…” The men’s mouths gaped open, too shocked to speak.

What was more shocking was that the pile of guns levitated toward Lady Ghost.

She reached out and lightly touched them, and the guns instantly disappeared without a trace.

“This–”

One man fainted on the spot, rolling his eyes from sheer terror.

“Mom, I knocked this man out. Should I use water to wake him up?” Hua Bao tossed the guard next to the men and asked.

Although Hua Bao was invisible, Jiang Yan could still see them.

“No need for now.” She took out a stool from Space, sat down with a lofty presence, and started speaking coldly.

Soon, Jiang Yan heard some information from the mouths of several people.

Before the apocalypse, these people were butchers.

After the apocalypse, they came from various places to Hai City to take refuge in Musen Base.

Due to their exquisite skills, they managed to find some slaughtering jobs in the base.

A month ago, the passage through the ice layer to this place was opened by a machine, and after being selected, they were sent here.

Before coming here, they had no idea that they were here to break down “two-legged sheep.”

By the time they found out, it was already too late.

However, during the time of the apocalypse, they had all, more or less, eaten two-legged sheep, so they were not that averse to it.

They only knew that these two-legged sheep were injected with hormones and viruses, mainly to facilitate the breakdown and preservation for transport.

It is said that these materials have a special use; they would not just be sent back to Musen Base but to other places as well.

As for why this “workshop” was located here and not in the base, the reason was that this sort of thing could not be allowed to happen in public view.

Moreover, the passage from Musen Base to here was too narrow for transporting this equipment over.

As for anything more, they had no knowledge.

The special reason for why the people upstairs were first hung up was also something they did not understand.

“Lady Ghost, we’ve told you all we know; for the rest, you might need to ask Little Boss,” said the man who had been leading the responses.

Jiang Yan frowned.

As she expected, these people were merely executors at the bottom rung.

Additionally, she also learned one more piece of information: Musen Base was built on a mountain.

Surrounded by forests.

It was not like Yaoben Base, sealed underground.

Jiang Yan, seeing that she could not get any more information, focused her attention on the guard brought down by Hua Bao.

Hua Bao understood and, with a vine, lifted a basket of human blood next to them and poured it directly onto the man’s head.

The room temperature wasn’t low, but the blood had already reached a semi-congealed state, similar to jelly.

Under the dual assault of the cold and the stench, the man trembled all over and instantly woke up.

He wiped his face with his hand, got up with eyes full of panic, and tried to run.

He barely stood up when his legs directly “snap” broke.

“Ahh–” The man let out a terrible scream.

The remaining few also tensed up their bodies, curling up together like frightened quails.

Jiang Yan’s eyelids jumped again: this child is a bit too violent today.

Indeed, the scenes she had seen today were outrageous and disgusting, like a living hell on earth.

Even worse than what she had seen previously at Flame Base.

She too wished she could dismember these people into thousand pieces!

“Tell me everything you know,” Jiang Yan aimed the gun at him.

“You, just kill me. I, I don’t know anything.” The other person, squinting through the blood, glanced at the short man on the ground, his lips trembling, and crawled aside, enduring the pain.

Jiang Yan promptly and without hesitation sent him a bullet.

“Lady Ghost, all of us here, once we reveal information about Musen Base, only have a road to death upon returning, or rather, a fate worse than death,” the man explained.

“Every two hours, they have to go to Little Boss for injections. That medicine allows them to resist the cold and endure hypoxia. If they don’t get injected when it’s time, it seems like their bodies will have problems.”

“Oh?” Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow at him, “What else do you know?”
